The Activity of Enzymes of Blood Serum of Pigs During Pregnancy

Metabolic Profile of Sow Blood Serum after Weaning

“…It is well-known [ 3 , 4 ] that the animal breed, in addition to the animal physiological state, also plays an important (sometimes, key) role in the metabolic processes occurring in the body, in particular— sows. For example, Trukhachev V.I.…”

“…For example, Trukhachev V.I. and coauthors [ 3 ] found that the body of large white breed pigs reacts significantly to the course of gestation, which is manifested in an increasing activity of the following enzymes: γ -glutamyltransferase (GGT, up to 34.42 ± 1.18 U/l, p < 0.05), alkaline phosphatase (ALP, up to 82.47 ± 2.51 U/l), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, by 37.9%), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). These effects indicated the activation of protein and carbohydrate metabolism, including glycolysis and other major biochemical processes.…”

“…These effects indicated the activation of protein and carbohydrate metabolism, including glycolysis and other major biochemical processes. The authors [ 3 , 4 ] found that, after farrowing, the parameters of the studied enzymes gradually return to the values before gestation. The only exception is the ALT value, which is associated with toxic processes and the effect of fetuses on the pigs' body during pregnancy [ 3 ].…”

The only exception is the ALT value, which is associated with toxic processes and the effect of fetuses on the pigs' body during pregnancy [ 3 ]. Changes in the biochemical parameters of pigs' blood in postnatal ontogenesis have also been studied by other researchers [ 4 ].…”
